KOLKATA: A 10-member Chinese military delegation visited the Indian Army’s Eastern Command headquarters here today and interacted with their counterparts, a defence official said.

The People’s Liberation Army delegation was led by Lt Gen Liu Xiaowu, Deputy Commander of Western Theatre Command of the PLA.

The team visited New Delhi, Agra and Sukhna in North Bengal before arriving here.

The PLA delegation visited the Army’s 33 Corps Headquarters at Sukna and interacted with senior officers during their two-day visit.

“The visit is a positive step towards enhancing the defence cooperation mechanism between the two countries which would help in maintaining peace and stability along the LAC,” the defence spokesperson said. (AGENCIES)
